Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
For the batter, beat 5 eggs with 1 cup of sugar using a mixer until fluffy. Gradually add flour and 2 tablespoons of cocoa, gently mixing the batter with a spoon, lifting layer by layer until the flour is incorporated. Add baking soda.
Step 2
Grease a baking pan with vegetable oil and dust with flour. Pour the resulting mixture into the prepared pan. Bake at 390°F for 25–30 minutes. The sponge cake is ready when a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean.
Step 3
Once cooled, trim the top and bottom for the base and cover of the cake. Crumble the middle into pieces.
Step 4
For the cream, in a saucepan, whisk 1 egg, vanilla sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa until frothy.
Step 5
Pour in the milk and bring to a boil over low heat while stirring constantly, BUT DO NOT BOIL!!
Step 6
Add the cooled mixture to the butter one tablespoon at a time while beating. Add 1 tablespoon of vodka (brandy, rum, etc. — a 40-degree drink).
Step 7
Mix the sponge cake pieces with the cream and dry cherries from the compote. Place this mixture on one sponge layer, cover with another layer. Pour chocolate paste on top.
